Vpn is needed to get through the firewall to the Kolab server.

I installed kleopatra additionally and it lists my keys. Configuration of Kleopatra is very difficult, since the configuration screen is much wider than the physical screen. Especially within the gnupg setup texts are cutoff in the right subwindow.

.gnupg in /home/user is owned by user/users and writable by user.
Kmail however still does not offer any keys for selection within identity nor does it decrypt.
